I swear....this is what it feels like they are saying is coming our way!!

I'm scared....but not because of the epic snow forecast

(possible 5 feet on thru/fri)

but because....I'm fixin to leave my kids alone for a week

with what seems like this coming!!

I have very mixed feelings....

I need to go, the ticket is bought, 42 people are depending on me

I know Brittnee and Hayden are very capable of handling this but....

what if :

1. We cant get off the mountain? (probably need to leave a day earlier then planned!)

2. The power is out for several days after we leave?

3. What if they get scared?

4. What if a tree falls on my house?

5. What if cell service is down?

6. What if they (Hayden lol) has an accident? (sunrise die hard that he is)

7. What if we don't go and it just blows over leaving a very wet foot or two?

8. What if, What if, What if.....

I know alot of you are praying for SNOW SNOW SNOW....but if you wouldn't mind praying for alittle less I would appreciate it...just this once! And hey! if you wouldn't mind checkin in with my kids over the weekend you would be my hero!!

As most of you know...Hayden is a snowboard instructor at Sunrise. Been doing if for four years now. This year he was super excited to be hired on full time. Today was his first day to free ride.

We got a call around 1:20 from Hayden. He told us that he was pretty sure he had broken his collar bone. So Rich said he would go up and pick him up...when he was about half way there the ski patrol (Hayden's good friend Brandon) called to tell Rich to turn around because they were calling an ambulance. I guess when he stood up he about passed out and was having blood pressure problems (no surprise there) and so they felt safer calling the ambulance for transport. Took forever for them to get him ready and loaded and back to Show Low. We waited at the hospital...and waited...and waited.

I guess what happened was he was doing a 180 (the 5th or 6th of the day) and he caught an edge and came down hard on his shoulder. He was pretty sure he dislocated it also but most likely put it back in place when he took his shirt off. Said he herd popping and was in the worst pain of his life. So he was pretty sure he popped it back in place. He is in a sling (the only thing they can do for it) and he is on some good meds. Will take two months to heal and has to go to an orthopedic surgeon in a week to make sure its healing right. other then that....He said he is heading back up to the mountain tomorrow. HAHA as he will only be the "corral mom" for the ski school for a

We took off after Christmas and headed to Manti for New Years with Grandma and Grandpa Jones, Scott and Rich, Gerri and Jessi

It was tons of fun and we had a great time!

The kids got alittle bored from time to time so we tried to fill their days with at least one out of the house activity....Movie, bowling, sledding and a New Years day to Salt lake to Visit family at Aunt Annette's and Uncle Craig's house. We also got to visit my good friend Karen and her family who i have not seen in WAY WAY too long!

This is my New Years smooch at midnight with Noah! Sawyer and his girls!
